Cartola 2026: Carrascal tops August as Flamengo dominate selection | OneFootball

Carrascal finished August as the standout in Cartola 2026, posting 59.00 points to lead the month. He outscored Athletico-PR forward Viveros on 52.80, with the August XI totalling 467.41 points.

According to Globo.com, the side lined up in a four-three-three and Flamengo supplied four picks: goalkeeper Rossi 23.90, midfielder Carrascal 59.00, forward Samuel Lino 46.00 and head coach Leonardo Jardim 35.81.

Santos contributed centre-back Luan Peres 27.90 and full-back Escobar 33.50. Fluminense had centre-back Ignácio 32.00 and forward Hulk 45.20, while Athletico-PR added Viveros 52.80 and full-back Benavídez 33.60. Chapecoense’s Giovanni Augusto 40.30 and Bahia’s Acevedo 37.40 completed the midfield.

The front three combined for 144.00 points, driven by Viveros’ consistency after regular round-by-round highlights this season. In midfield, Carrascal’s 59.00 left a gap of nearly 19 points to the sector’s third-placed Acevedo.

At the back there was little between the leading full-backs, with Benavídez edging Escobar by 0.10, 33.60 to 33.50.

Flamengo also led the club rankings for August with 399.71 points, ahead of Santos on 334.35. Athletico-PR followed on 328.23, then Bahia 322.87 and Palmeiras 308.20.

The gap between first and fifth, just over 90 points, underlines Flamengo’s cushion while the chasing four were split by relatively fine margins.
